BAD ONES Thus?* Are CoiniO? North in , Numbers The peopl* of Juneau are complain ing that thugs ami all round hartl char acters in great nuiubersare arriving at i that place on the steamers that are ar-> riving from the south. It is believed that they arc a part of the gang that is being driven out of Seattle by Chief Delanev and the rejuveuated police force of that city. The great list of second-class passen gers that are arriving on each boat that comes into Skagwav has caused many to believe that this city is not being overlooked by the crooks in their trek from Seattle. S^Speakingof the situation at'Juneau, the llecord-Miner savs: "There was landed here off the Port- 1 land, last eight, about a dozeu hard looking creatures that will deserve close watching. It wou'd be well for every householder to be on his guard. Now that we have had shooting scrapes, suicides uud throat cutting, it follows that burglaries are sure to fol low. Seattle has determined that these thugs should not remain there and they are scattering in all direc- ; tions. Juneau is getting her share. A good gun close at haud these night* will do much toward stopping the dep- j redations of these thieves and cut throats." The peace officers of Skagwav have been watching the situation closely, and are daily notifying suspicious char acters to get a jo; or move on quickly, i SMtiWAY HEATHER For the 24 hours preceding 0 o'clock a. m., April 21, 1904: Highest temperature.
